Ever since Woke arrived, I've noticed anyone of Hispanic descent was classified as a person of color. I had to raise an eyebrow this morning when a person with the last name of Diaz, which in my experience is someone of Hispanic descent, was referred to as being of the white race. Was this because he he identifies as white or was it because he kidnapped a kid? Unfortunately, I have no faith or trust in anything I read any longer.

For those wondering what this is about.

AMBER Alert issued for 11-year-old Missouri City girl reportedly abducted by 28-year-old man, police say (click2houston.com)
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

If you start looking at demographic data amongst various sources, you will find that many have started categorizing Hispanics/Latinos as White now.

It allows them to elevate and highlight blacks as the preferred minority.

Conversely(?), all during COVID if you looked at demographic data every category looked like this which I was always confused by:

  • Non-Hispanic White
  • Non-Hispanic Black
  • Non-Hispanic Asian
  • etc

Every racial category had "Non-Hispanic" in front of it. I never knew there was a Non-Hispanic Asian category. I guess I just thought that was understood.

If a hispanic person does something liberals don't like, they are "hispanic whites". Otherwise they are POC.

Similar to black people - you lose your black card if you become a Republican.

I think it's a reflection of the fact that we're seeing Hispanics fleeing the government plantation in droves. If they aren't on the plantation they're of no use to the Establishment and may has well be white. Now if we can get get black people to flee the government plantation they'll be classified as white and the purification of the Democrat Party will be complete.

Hispanic is an ethnicity, not race. These are the 5 races according to the census bureau:
  • White
  • Black or African American
  • American Indian or Alaska Native
  • Asian
  • Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

For ethnicity, there are two categories: "Hispanic" or "Not Hispanic."

The following groups are used in the diversity calculations:
  • Hispanic
  • White alone, non-Hispanic
  • Black or African American alone, non-Hispanic
  • American Indian and Alaska Native alone, non-Hispanic
  • Asian alone, non-Hispanic
  • Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, non-Hispanic
  • Some Other Race alone, non-Hispanic
  • Multiracial, non-Hispanic

What am I missing for all categories to have non-hispanic tagged to it?

If a Hispanic commits a violent crime, they are classified as "white". Otherwise, they are classified as Latino or Hispanic.

Hispanics and race are an interesting topic. There is no Hispanic race. You can be lily white, native, or even have a large percentage of African blood. In Mexico and Central America, most are mestizo. It boggles my mind how some people see some one from Spain as being a different race than someone from France.

I generally despise Amber alerts because it almost always involves a child custody situation. Maybe that isn't the case here. Still, program your phone accordingly.

I will never forget in a race-related training I was informed that Hispanics were "bamboozled" into thinking they (we) are white.

Why? Because whites + Hispanics will always be the majority.

Also, if Hispanics are included in the majority then they (we) can separate ourselves from Blacks.

Hispanic stems from Hispaniola, so it's more South American vs European than Spanish/Portuguese vs Central/Eastern European.

I don't even try to keep up to date with the ever changing racial landscape. I still proscribe to the poster that was on the wall in one of my high school classrooms that stated there are three races:

  • Caucasoid
  • Mongoloid
  • Negroid

Flame away.

That's a fact jack. But isn't there a small fourth for aboriginals?

Might be. Don't remember. Probably should be considering how unique they are.

Simple. If you are not Caucasian but still pull the lever for (D), you are a POC.
If you don't, you're one of the evil whiteys.
